Nhu Lan Bakery - Chicago

I had an amazing Bahn Mi, specifically the vegan lemongrass option, and I highly recommend it! The bread was fresh, and the flavors were extraordinary. The staff was incredibly friendly, making it an overall delightful experience in a charming little shop.

The staff are very friendly, and the banh mi are absolutely amazing—definitely the best in the city! You get a generous portion, and the bread is fantastic.

This is the best banh mi I've ever tasted! You have to try the lemongrass tofu; it’s incredible!

I always get the #17 BBQ Roast Pork Bahn Mi but it’s nice having an asian BBQ option to takeout. The sandwiches are so perfect. Big and lots of meat. The BBQ pork is soft and juicy and the bread is warm and soft with a super thin crispy crust. The couple that runs it is so so sweet and super nice. I’ve had a few Bahn Mi in the area and have been a little disappointed but this place is seriously the best so far. Please never close.

I've been itching to try this Banh Mi spot since moving to Uptown and finally got to try it. I've heard great things, and my visit here solidified those comments. The little lady working behind the counter was sooo nice and sweet. We ordered two Nhu Lan specials and didn't have to wait more than 4-5 minutes to receive our sandwiches. Took them home and absolutely devoured them. We both felt that they were extremely good; great French bread texture and all the ingredients were fresh. Our only minor negative review was that the jalapeños used weren't that spicy. We would have loved some more heat. Will absolutely be back!
